10th Anniversary Celebration

10 years old (in 2018) – Hooray!!!!!!!!!

Maidstone Street Pastors (the first initiative in Kent) celebrated our 10th Anniversary on Sunday 14th October 2018.

Over 100 people joined us which included current and ex Street and Prayer Pastors along with some distinguished guests. We had a great time with some fantastic speeches and acknowledgements for the work we do.

Here’s a snap-shot……….
